Hi all,
I am trying to emerge sys-libs/glibc-2.21-r1 but I get this error:

Is your kernel missing CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION ?

Comment 4 Vasco Gervasi 2015-07-27 19:43:58 UTC

# CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION is not set

Comment 5 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev

You are attempting to build a multilib-enabled glibc but your kernel is not capable of running the 32bit code.  This won't work.  You need to add 32bit support to your kernel, or switch to no-multilib.

Comment 6 Vasco Gervasi 2015-07-27 19:48:44 UTC

How can I switch to no-multilib with systemd?

Comment 7 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev

2015-07-27 19:52:56 UTC

All you need for systemd is USE="systemd udev -consolekit" really, you can look at the rest of the details of the systemd-specific profiles in /usr/portage/profiles/targets/systemd/ .  I'd just pick a no-multilib profile and add a few flags from this systemd profile dir.

Or just enable 32bit support on your kernel.

For further help on this you should use one of our support venues like forums or IRC, this is not a bug so the bug tracker is not the right place to get support.
